sand people assembled at the marble works
Monday night to see the illustrious President
and his beautiful wife, and to witness the
illumination of Kennesaw Mountain.
The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
brought down train load of North Georgia
mountaineers, while the Gem City" and
vicinity contributed several other train
loads OF our best citizens. The large crowd
was patient and good humored notwith
standing it had been raining nearly all day
and the ground was muddy and the night
dark as a stack of black cats Kennesaw
was not discernible, save as the Pickering
torch showed its whereabouts as some one
passed to and fro in making preparations
for the illumination.
TWAS nearly ten o'clock before the Pres
ident's train glided swiftly into Elizabeth
station. The orderly crowd surged around
the palatial coaches as soon as the train
stopped. President Cleveland stepped out
on the rear platform, with his hands in his
pockets, wearing a soft white hat not
at all becoming His beautiful wife stood
In the car door. Both watched the illumi-
ton OF kennesaw mountain intently. The
mountain was enveloped in dense clouds,
and the display of fire works was obscured
The clouds though took on roseate glow
as if the flashes of fame were the result of
an artillery engagement. Now and then
rockets and falling stars of diamond brillian-
cy would shoot through the clouds and pre-
sent beautiful scene.
In the meantime the people toasted their
eyes on the President and his wife. They
anticipated that the President would bow
or lit his hat to them as they called out

not to hear and seemed stolidly oblivious Of
the large and enthusiastic throng Dis
lance seemed to have lent enchantment to
the view, and unmoved he stood and looked
upon the fiery clouds that bathed the sum-
NIT OF kennesaw, then he turned and went
back into his elegant coach without saving
L am glad to meet you my fellow-country-
men. The only recognition received was
smile from his charming and beautiful
wife. We all stand ready to vote for Mrs.
Cleveland for President, but Grover had bet

There are in all communities ill-natur
ed, malicious people, who never have kline
words for any one, but spend their time anC
breath in abusing ethers and retailing Sian
der. Such people are to be pitied more
than blamed, for they have had their day
and their lives have been such miserable
wicked failures that their tempers are sour
ed and they can do nothing but hate. When
such characters die, no one regrets their de-
parture and the community feels relieved.

Uncle Toms Cabin is as much of

tard plaster, we mean the power o
drawing an audience. 1t seems as i
that noted drama would live forever
Why it draws, is hard to tell because
as drama, it is has no especial mer.
it, and, when rendered at this city
without proper scenic effects, it is ex.
ceedingly fiat, unless it is seen for the
first time. The play was rendered
here Friday night last. at the Opera
House, by the Abbey troupe. They
made great flourish of their perform
ance, but it is safe to say that not
many were pleased. The troupe also
raised the price of reserved seats to
Is cents, and they we're all occupied.
In the forenoon the company gave a
street parade. Their band was com.
posed of white and black musicians.
They numbered about twelve and
were styled on the bills as "two
bands" In the procession were also
Shetland pony, donkey, and two
big dogs. Some parts of the play
were very well rendered, but scenic
effects were wanting and the final tab
leau was not as good as has been Civ
en- by other troupes who rendered the
play here. If person has not seen
"Uncle Tom," it is worth seeing, if
only to satisfy the curiosity. The
Opera House was packed full of peo-
pie and several had to stand. The
troupe drew n larger audience than
we believed they would have at the
price charged. Twenty-Five and ten
cents would have been enough to
charge for seeing such a performance.
The troupe went to Au Sable Satur-
day morning.

The propeller Hall went to Turn
bulls dock, near Middle Island, last
week, for a load of cedar. She got
on about 1000 ties, and on her way
from the wharf struck rocky reef,
and injured her wheel and shoe. Ar
rangements were made to have the
Rhoda Stewart tow her to Detroit,
but the Stewards cylinder got out OF
order and she had to lay up for re-
pairs. The Hall then proceeded to
Detroit, leaving this port Sunday
morning, and will be dry locked. In
the meantime her tow, the Michigan
and Flint, have to remain here, both
being loaded with cedar for Chicago,
until the Hall returns. They will
both lose about weeks time and
considerable profit.

The farmers of this county are I'M
able to supply the demand in Alpena
city for potatoes, and thus potatoes
have to be imported. A car load was
brought here last week. 1t appears
that the farmers did not grow as many
potatoes in 1886 as in other years,
owing to the small price then paid
the county being overstocked. The
result is a scarcity and the price of
potatoes have gone up to 81 per bush
ell at retail. Those who have potatoes
to sell are reaping a rich harvest.

The laws of the State of Michigan
say positively that cattle shall not be
allowed to run at large in any city in
this State which has population of
1000, and yet that law is set at def
ance every day in this city. Alpena
is cursed with the nuisance of having
cattle roam the streets at all hours of
the day and night, and some cows are
as handy at opening gates as female
pick-pocket plying her profession.
However, the Council have at last
come to the conclusion that the law
shall be enforced. Now shut up your
cattle.
